These games are no joke!

A trio of classic children’s toys were chosen to join the likes of Barbie and Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester on Thursday morning: Twister, the Super Soaker and the puppet.

The three winning playthings were selected by a national committee of knick-knack experts such as toy collectors, professors and psychologists who chose from a pool of 12 finalists, including American Girl dolls, Battleship, the coloring book, Jenga, Playmobil, the scooter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a top and the Wiffle ball — in addition to this year’s winners, the Democrat and Chronicle reported.

Any old toy may be nominated for inclusion in the hall of fame. In order to be chosen, however, the plaything must have withheld the test of time, be easily recognized and encourage creativity or exploration through its use.

Last year, little green Army men, the Rubik’s Cube and bubbles were absorbed into the list of most important playthings alongside 53 other favorites all housed at The Strong, home to the national Museum of Play as well as the Toy and Video Game Halls of Fame.
